I read it (or devoured it might be more accurate) and suddenly found a side of myself put into words. It changed me, and I'm not even kidding or exaggerating. This book taught me something monumental about myself. I've read many books, some of them have taught me about the world, about people, about feelings or ideas. My copy is worn out from being opened, read in, then thrown onto the table or put carelessly down as I try to gather myself up from my messy emotional pile on the floor and try to deal with, well. Every poem has meaning, and soul and something deeply terrifying about it. Every line is powerful, it's got secrets. Siken is beyond talented with words, that much is clear, this entire collection is a work of pure art, something you rarely find these days. With a start like this, and with expectations as high as mine, you'd think the book would come up short. I have never in my life anticipated the arrival of a book more than I did with this. Dozens of times, until I realised it would never be enough, so I ordered his book. So I read it and re-read it again and again. That my mind kept circling back to his words. The next day I was painfully aware I couldn't leave it behind. I read Richard Siken's poem "Wishbone" on the internet. Not from the absence of violence, but despite He can't talk to you, remember?

Even though I'm sweaty and sticky from what we just did, Sam's still plastered to my body, his arm wrapped around me and his hand resting on my throat, as if he has to hold me against him as he sleeps. The way it felt when he pushed inside me, his aggressive dominance that should have scared me but just turned me on even more…all of it feels as if it's unraveled the old Amy and she's lying in pieces here in the bed next to him. But doing all that with Sam just now…there aren't words to describe the intensity of it all. I mean, as a virgin, I've read books and heard people talk. I'm shocked to my core at what we just did. I do my best to pant quietly as I lie in bed, still trying to catch my breath. |
